Cinemax's 1st Original Series, Strike Back, Premieres Friday August 12th

Tomorrow, Friday August 12th at 10 PM (ET/PT), Cinemax premieres its first original series Strike Back.

Inspired by a British series of the same title (currently airing its second season on Sky1 … which we believe consists of the same episodes to air this season on Cinemax), which itself was adapted from the 2007 thriller Strike Back by Chris Ryan, the series stars Philip Winchester and Sullivan Stapleton as members of a top-secret intelligence agency known as Section 20, who are on the trail of a deadly international terrorist.

This first season will consist of 10 episodes, which were filmed in part on location in South Africa and Hungary. Watch a preview for the series below.
